Five Values of Woodbury Preschool at The Grove
Play-Based- Children learn best through play. Research indicates that nature play, in particular, has strong ties to cognitive development, emotional regulation, and independence. Free play encourages engagement, imagination, cooperation, and connection to the natural world.
Commitment to the Whole Child - Parents often seek preschools which prepare their children for school success, and Woodbury Preschool at The Grove aligns its practices to District 833's kindergarten expectations. But even more than simply practicing the ABSs, the foundations of lifelong well-being are rooted in fostering a child's sense of self, providing opportunities for social interaction, and nurturing creativity and curiosity.
Diversity and Inclusion - We honor the sacred worth and dignity of families of every age race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical and mental capacity, education, economic, and marital status.
Professionalism of Staff - Parents consistently praise Woodbury Preschool at The Grove's staff for the genuine care, joy, and sensitivity they radiate. Teachers and aides all meet the educational and training criteria for licensing and accreditation, and many have education and training beyond these requirements.
Low Ratios - Woodbury Preschool at The Grove offers very low child-to-adult ratios, prioritizing responsive caregiving that is extremely important to a child's social and emotional development, physical well-being, and overall development.
Roots of Faith
As a ministry of The Grove Church, the preschool's mission is to nurture all children into people who grow goodness in the world. Early seeds of goodness are planted, faith roots sprout, and eventually children grow into people who can make big positive differences in the world. Through songs, prayers, and a large group gathering time, the following roots of faith are emphasized.
- God loves everyone, and God’s love is active in children’s lives as a gift of grace. Each person is of sacred dignity and worth without exception.
- Stories of Jesus teach children how to grow goodness by learning to care for themselves, others, and the earth.
- God’s spirit stirs natural curiosity and awe in children. Faith is about exploration and wonderment.
